What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is one of the worlds oldest Fraternal organizations. Freemasonry defined is a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. It is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values, in which the members are taught the history and morals of masonry through rituals and the bible.
Is It A Religion?
Freemasonry is not a religion or a substitute for religion but it is an orginization for men of any race, or religion who share a belief in the supreme being GOD. Those who wish to join may do so as long as they meet the masonic qualifications.
